Open cm157 opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. You want to take a photo but not store it even temporarily in non encrypted container.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow the app to directly capture photos from camera and store directly in app.

Describe alternatives you've considered Taking a regular photo then transferring app. May leave forensically recoverable data

@leonlatsch There is a video recorder app (cryptocam) that make use of keychain to securely encrypt the recorded video on the fly leaving no traces on the phone storage maybe you could adopt a similar system here just a proposition :)

I don't mean anything that complicated. Simply that the photo is taken within the app so it is not saved even temporarily outside the encryption container

what you are asking for my friend is very complicated so @leonlatsch needs some example app to make it easier to make instead of working on the concept from scratch!

GitHub.com/Secure-File-Manager

Has camera integrated in app and will store file locally in app

@cm157 Wow didn't know about Secure file manager thanks for the info :)

So I will implement this. Not planned for any version yet.

I think i will use the new CameraX lib from Jetpack.

@leonlatsch btw,will this taking photo by using photox will contain exif data? I'm a little skeptical usually about metadata and want to remove it. if you are going to implement ability to take photo within photox someday, I think it would be cool if it doesn't contain exif data of anything sensitive except orientation.

leonlatsch commented 3 years ago

@pokegamer5547 Good point. I may add an options to take a photo without exif data

pokegamer5547 commented 3 years ago

@leonlatsch thats great! thanks for considering.
